Tour my cottage...

I recently downsized from a 2,000+ square foot home to a little over 600 feet of living space. With this change, I had to get rid of a lot of furniture, stuff, lamps, knick-knacks, clothes, shoes, handbags...well, you get the idea.  It was a very cathartic experience and I am currently living in about two rooms. I had most of the furniture here, all I brought were my two favorite rugs,  (from my mother and grandmother) a chair, two ottomans and some pillows. Welcome to my little cottage by the lake!!:

Living room rug my mother gave me -

Bedroom vignette with shabby dresser bought for $95

Sitting room (and guest room) with Chinese art deco rug that belonged to my

grandmother, $69 IKEA chair, vintage leather stool, fabric throw

My favorite plants and view out the kitchen window - woods

and more woods - perfect for 'serenity now!' - a view of

woods is supposed to be great 'Feng Shui' -

I painted the cottage white and added lots of yellow, blue and 

turquoise...gorgeous colors that I love to live with -

Thanks for joining me on my little cottage tour - I didn't make the 

photos look too 'glamorous' or stage it too much, so you will

notice shoes, a wire and a box for Scootie to sleep in - ;-0

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!
